We were impressed by the 40W-equivalent GE Brilliance Energy Smart, and so were our consumer testers. The GE had the most even light distribution of any bulb tested, besting even our incandescent control bulb, and meaning it will be great for any light fixture in your home. In addition, the cool-hued light earned great scores for appearance from our consumer testers — the second highest score overall in the LED category. We had only two small quibbles: the bulb was slightly less efficient than others in the test, and is a bit on the pricey side.
